A drill tower is a tower and training facility for firefighters. It is usually built within a fire station facility for routine exercises and training. [1] The drill tower is typically a multi-level structure simulating high-rise buildings. Heights vary by location.
Towers can help firefighters deal with real-life situations, including running upstairs with heavy equipment, using rope and safety nets, and operating a fire engine in a confined space.
Towers are usually accessible only by stairs and ladders, but in Hong Kong, the one in Kai Tak Fire Station is built with a lift for disabled. [2]
